Played on Friday, done two 9 holes back to back (so aye, an 18 basically) - first two shots from the opening tee were as sweet as could be, pretty much everything after that was a disaster. Well, I say disaster I still came 2nd last in our group, but they * have been playing for years, they were saying to me what the * ye moaning about yev only been playing for a month.

It's cause I knew I got into my head early on and couldn't get out. * golf

 

Some of the best putts I've hit tae - long yins, curved yins, short yins.

All the * best ones I hit either rimmed the hole and * of downhill, bounced aff the fleg pole......christ one even went in the hole and * popped back out again.....swear to christ!

Ye just know when the golf gods are against you

 

I find that too I feel I'm not playing well but I'm scoring ok or I'm playing well but scores are not what I'm expecting, I was hitting the ball well yesterday but got really tired at the end and lost on the last hole being Dormy on the 15th aswel

Me and my pal did match play versus my dad and his pal. We were 3 up after 5 holes and managed to bottle it for an all square finish

 

How did you get on in the end @Mr Shelby

 

Been there a few times, the old Bhoys know there stuff I play in a regional league against other clubs and I was out with our club captain he's 80 odd he basically caddied me and against the 2 others I gubbed them both think it was 5 up when we walked in, all he kept saying was your there for free now any where on the green lol, there game management is outstanding

I hit a 67 yesterday






After 6 holes

 

I love matchplay. No better feeling giving out a pumping to someone.

 

ahh just realised there's a gowf thread. I play off +6 atm was pro few years ago played some pro events, then went back to * status just over 2 years ago.

 

Crikey, got ourselves a player

 

Where do you play about just now mate?

 

since going back to playing *, myself and a few golf mates have been on a journey of playing all the tom morris courses. the last 3 were Cruden bay, helensburgh and ladybank. done st andys carnoustie gleneagles etc.

 

What is your home course just now? I live not far from Ladybank. Not a bad track round there. Love all 3 at Gleneagles also. If you get a cracking day weather wise, Gleneagles is superb.

 

That's cracking id like to try something like that maybe the James braid ones. there is a James braid trails that has all the information about it so think I'll look into it , im choking to do some of our bucket list courses played the championship at gleneagles couple in st Andrews and trump Aberdeen but some I'm priced out of now

if your priced out, you should enter the opens most are like 20 25 quid entry fee, cheapest way to play all the dearer courses

 

I've got a links ticket but hardly use it mostly due to playing different courses all the time.

 

Ah no worries. The boy I play winter league with has got his links tickets too. It was mainly parkland I played all the time up until about 3 years ago when I joined Leven. Much more enjoyable in the winter no having to wear a pair of wellies to get round.

 

They're shots that keep us coming back mate! Keep at it you'll be breaking 90 in no time if you can already hit a bunker shot
